A thoroughly professional performance from the BTC bowlers, led by the new ball pairing of Tonmoy Saha (1/14) and Rony Sardar (3/16). The GHG innings never got going with wickets falling at regular intervals. The bowling was well complemented by the fielding with a couple of run-outs to show for their efforts. Only Yousufzai (32 off 37) and Brar (27 off 32 balls) managed to put up a fight, which wasn't enough in the end. First win on the board for Bengal Tigers while GHG has some thinking to do after a disappointing loss today!
That's it from our side. Hope you enjoyed the coverage of yet another Finnish Premier League game. Until then, This is Dwijesh Reddy and my partner Kartik Iyer signing off! Stay safe! See you soon!
